Two London Underground stations were evacuated during the Friday morning rush hour after testing of fans created a dust cloud.

Canary Wharf and Canada Water stations were closed for around 10 minutes when the incident happened shortly after 9.15am.

A Transport for London (TfL) spokeswoman said: “We were doing testing of fans in the tunnels. It inadvertently created a dust cloud so we evacuated the stations.”

Owen Smith, who was one of those affected at Canada Water, said he thought there was “some sort of gas or smoke”.

He added that “everyone was very calm” and described the station staff as “a credit to TfL”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
